ORR MIR. WINDOW.

Our Mr. WINDoM-for he is still ours
by brevet, so to speak-gOes on making
new financial c0nQueStS, regardless of
the political winds which blow hither
and thither and always cold for the poll
tician whose party or faction is not on
top.
The GLOBE has several times in
words of commentator alluded TO the
calm serenity with which Mr.. WINDOW,
| disregarding his lack of political OppOr-
tunitieS, has gone on organizing and
managing financial enterprises whose
magnitude and whose luscious salaries
have fairly made the mouths of his for
mer political associates water. His ship
railway scheme and his GOgebic mine
operations have been duly chronicled;
but our Mr.. WINDOW. whose memory is
still dear to various members of the Re-
publican brotherhood, was not content
with these.
He has become the head of a corpora
ton which proposes building a great
railway and telegraph system in the
Southwest. Who can tell but that in
the due course of time he may even be-
come a rival of the great and only
GOULD? And bear it in mind that it
makes little difference whether the sys-
TEN is ever built. 1t must in any
event pay an excellent salary to its
president, and that person is Mr.. WIN
DOM. So that as far as material cOnSid-
eratiOuS are concerned, it is quite
evident he has lost nothing by the
chillineSs with which Minnesota poll
ticians have lately been wont to look
upon him.
1t may even be that in the fullness
of time he may be besought by some of
his former enemies, who may them
selves be chilled by an unfavorable
political zephyr, for some of the good
things within his gift as a multiform
president of vast commercial undertake

STATEHOOD FOR DAKOTA.

1t is gratifying to observe that the
people of Dakota are at last taking
practical steps to obtain statehood. A
call has been issued for territorial
convention to be held at Aberdeen on
the 18th day of December next for the
purpose of making an organized effort
to present the territOry'S claims to
congress in a dignified, proper and re-
spectful manner, in the expectation that
an enabling act will be passed authOriz-
ing the holding of a constitu-
tiOnal convention for the whole
territory, and that as soon as
the labOrS of that convention
are ratified by the people of the whole
territory Dakota will be admitted as a
state. All persons who favor the ad-
mission of Dakota as a whole are in
vited to take part in this convention,
and each county is invited to send dele
gates to Aberdeen on the 18th of De-
Gem Der.

secure statehood for Dakota, and there
ought to be no question of the success
Of the movement. There Will be no
one to oppose this movement except the
political Adventures and office
seekers who have crowded into
the territory for the sole purpose
of gathering political spoils. The
great body of the people will readily
understand that if anything is to be ac
complished in the way of securing the
coveted statehood it must be done in
this way The lack of public interest
in the late election when the question
of division was up shows cOncluSively
that the Dakota people as a mass take
no stock in the division proposition.
When Dakota asks admission as
whole its prayer will be needed. For
that reason the citizens of the various
counties should take an interest in Sc
lecting their best men as delegates to
the Aberdeen convention.

OUR SOLID PROSPERITY.

A carping contemporary III an over
doomed town remarks, with Sneer of
delight, if a sneer is ever capable of eX-
pressing diabolical JOY, that EST. PauIs
boom is a thing of the past" We hasten
to agree with our wOuld-be uncivil con-
temporary, though our acquieScence
may cause an emotion of surprise to
penetrate to its alleged brain. st.
Paul's boom is thing of the past be-
cause it never had one. What is more,
it never wants one.
a boom is generally supposed to be
the highly excited and entirely un-
wholesome state Of feeling brought
about by a combination of ardent hope,
ferYent Imagination and unlimited
fifty-foOt lots, founded upon more or
less uncertain basis of prosperity. Its
essential characteristics are artificiality
and insubstantiality. And there is
nothing of that kind in st. Paul. The
growth of the city has been and con-
tinues phenomenal, it is true, but there
is nothing of the frOthy boom about it.
1t has simply been all effort to keep
up with the necessities of the surround
ing country, and great as the growth
has been. the goal has not yet been
reached. 1t has been prosperity steady
and unremittent, which braggadOciO
will neither aid nor harm, and it is
prosperity we would rejoice to see eX-
emplified in some sister cities which af-
feet to believe that no good thing can
come out of Minnesota. or stay in the
state either. for that matter.
With the record nearly complete of a
year which will be shown to have been
the greatest in her history, st. Paul is
well content. Can her detractOrS say
the same? We trOW not.

SPARKS RESIGNATION.

Secretary LAMAR has proved an over
match for Land Commissioner SPARKS
in their wrestling match, and SPARKS
goes to the floor. The land commits
sioner invited his fall by travelling out
of the line of official duty to challenge
his superior TO combat. 1t may be pos
Sible that in the Omaha case SPARKS
was right and LAMAR was wrong, but
that did not justify the former in an act
of diScOurtesy. The same law which
made it incumbent upon the land COM
missioner to render decisions in all
cases relating to the public lands also
gave authority to the secretary of the
interior to review those decisions. When
Gen. SPARKS rendered his decision in
this case he was relieved of all further
official responsibility in the matter. His
duties ended right there, and he had no
right to pursue the case any further.
His INSTRUMENTATION and subsequent in
termeddling deserved the rebuke that
Secretary LAMAR gave him.
Still, with all his crankiness, Gen.
SPARKS has made splendid record for
honesty and ability in the adminiStra-
ton of the land office. He is the only
man that ever filled that position who
had the nerve to throttle the land-grab-
bers, and the American people are not
unmindful of his services in their be-
half. They fOrgave his crankiness be-
cause of his honest efforts to protect
the government against the encrOach-
ments of the land menOpOlies. The
very fact that the land rings will rejoice
to see him forced out of the land office
will create corresponding regret on
the part of the people that he has
placed himself in a position to make his
resignation necessary.

of the law as much as any one of the
anarchists hanged last Friday. If he
has committed no overt act it is simply
that he has lacked the opportunity or
failed himself to have the courage to do
the bloody deeds which he is so apt in
urging others to perform. His presence
in this country is as dangerous as a
lighted candle in powder magazine,
and he should as quickly be stamped
out. With the real workingman MosT
has no sympathy; for the thief and the
assassin he has the most fraternal feel
ing.
He should be packed off to the coun-
try whence he came without delay, and
if in mid-ocean some friend of society
should quietly drop him overheard,
there would be cause for warm common
dation and earnest cOngratulation. If
the New York authorities allow him to
bray much longer, they will have only
themselves to thank for repetition of
the Haymarket calamity with the scene
changed to the metropolis.

THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW.

1t was often remarked in the olden times
It's the ignorant folks who commit all the
crimes.
And even now you can read Of you chance to
look 20 "a
Biographical sketches III any old book, a.
Where a strange exception has happened
once more.
Some ones parents were honest although
they were poor, 20
But the case is revealed from the old-fash-
Toned way,
Now the old-fashioned thief stands agast in
dismay.
The old style thief hardly ever would steal
More than sugar cured hams or a small sack
of meal.
The old style thief only carried sack,
While the modernized thieves hunt like
wolves in pack;
They combine like the wolves in corporate
bands,
Steal all they lay hands on, houses or lands.
Congressional bOOdiers and great milliOnaIres
Steal millions of acres and call it their shares.
They admit something crooked, perhaps
there's some flaws,
But they can't go to jail, they are makers OF
laws.
I'm afraid Uncle Sam will wake up some
morn
With his plug hat gone and his striped pants
Find some millionaire boss of a corporate
ring
Has stolen the country and made himself

Partisan Witches.

There are several female fOrtune-tell
ers in Paris who do a good trade, and it
has even been alleged that on one occa-
sion wise woman living in BatignOlles
was visited by no less a parsonage than
Gen. Boulanger. who wanted to hear
the sibyl's opinion as to his prospects,
says the London Telegraph. Whether
this be due to the lively imagination of
a boulevard chronicler or not, it is GER
tain that since the dissemination of the
story an impetus has been given to the
trade of Partisan CagliostrOS and female
oracles. The ranks of local astrOlogers,
water-readers and card-dealers have re-
ceived an important addition i'll the per-
son of Viennese woman, whose show
lily painted face is exhibited diurnally
on the boulevardS by sandwich men.
She processes to be the only living pos
SCISSOR of the secrets Of the great Gag
lioStrO, and she reads fortunes in a glass
of water, like so many of her cOmpeers.
PariSians are sharp race, and are not
easily gulled by Galatians, but the fe-
male successor of CaglioSto manages to
obtain prosperous custom from unSo-
phisticated milliners' apprentices, dress
makers, petites ouvrieres of all classes,
servants and provincials from BriveS-
la-Gaillarde and other rural townships
like il.

Nast's Western Tour.

Mr.. Mast, the caricaturist, is seeking
relief from nervous debility by travel in
the far West. A book on which he was
engaged when he became ill must go
over until next year, he says, as sensi-
BILE mans health ought to be his first
consideration. With a thriftiness not
wholly uncharacteristic of the man, he
is lecturing here and there on the line
of his journey. A portion of his dis
course is devoted to 1.-The English crit
ics," who acuse us, he sa S, of being too
serious and at the same time copy most
of our wit. At Denver he passed a
pleasant week with his son, who is en-
gagged in mining near that city. John
Mcclure, we'll known in dramatic cir
cles on the Pacific slope, Will manage
Mr.. Mast during his lecturing tour.
Once in California he will rest for
month or two, being rich enough not to
worry about the wolves that prOwl near
others doors.

The Cook Lady Crushed Her.

Boston Letter.
A lady who lives in one of the suburbs
went last week to procure a cook, and at
the intelligence Office where she applied
was presented to young woman in
gorgeous array, who it was supposed
would meet her requirements. The
splendidly-dressed cOOk-lady said she
had lived in the suburb in question,
liked it much, and was willing to de-
prive the town of her presence and re-
turn to it. The references of the
would-be employer seemed not I'M
satisfactory. and all was appar-
emily going smoothly when the
Irish lady asked: Where do you live?"
1--WE have taken Mr.. Blanks house on
Blank street," was the reply. An in
slant change came over the face of the
questioner, world of lofty condescen-
sion filling her look and her speech as
she returned: 20, that is very nice
little establishment but think you had
better look for another girl; am accuS-
toned to more style than you could keep
up in so small a place." And she moved
away with stately mien and dignified
frOu-frou of silken robes and jet fringes,
leaving the unfortunate mistress of the
mice little establishment" crushed and

How a Physicians Skill and an
Umbrella Rib Saved a Lady's
| Life.
| New York Herald.
''NIrs. - swallowed her plate.
Won't you please come to the house
right away?"
"She must have been pretty hungry"
was the answer DR.. Charles Bliss gave
| the servant who made this announce
ment to him few days ago.
Its plate with her teeth OH it,, was
the reply.
The doctor hurried to the address
given, near Central Park, and found the
family physician trying to dislodge the
obstruction. The plate was in the shape
of horse shoe, with one toOOth at each
end and gold clasps beyond them for
surrounding the two adjoining natural
| teeth.
The patient, who was lady weighing
over 800 pounds, was almost Sutfocated
scarcely able to gasp for breath. Dr..
| Bliss tried to pull the plate up, but the
clasps had caught in the tissues and he
succeeded only in pulling off one of the
teeth. In few minutes the patient
stopped breathing entirely. Something
| had to be done instantly or she would
die. They were without surgical in
struments.
DR.. Bliss pulled out penknife and
cut slit in the lady's throat, through
which he could feel the plate. She
breathed once. This was encouraging.
He dashed to the corner of the room,
tore a rib from an umbrella standing
there, wrapped his handkerchief around
the end and by main force pushed the
plate down into the patients stomach.
Then he sewed up the cash in the
throat, and left strict orders to keep her
perfectly quiet all night, and forbade
her any food or drink of any kind even
water, before he arrived the next day.
The patients throat was, of coarse, in
famed, but the doctors orders were
obeyed although her thirst was intense.
Next morning early she bribed one of
the servants to get her quart of ice
cream and ate every bit of it.
When the doctors called, soon after,
DR.. Bliss merely remarked that he
chopped she would keep COOL" ordered
two ounces of castor oil and bowl of
oatmeal cruel, and left her chatting
merrily with her relatives, who would
have been preparing her for the grave
had it not been for the common sense
and skill of DR.. Bliss.

Cuthbert CAD Liberal.
The five-year-old daughter of the ed
itor of the Liberal is the happiest child
in Cuthbert. She was one of the favored
few who had the privilege of shaking
hands with Jefferson Davis and Miss
Winnie. Her mother had done many
hard days work sewing for the COnfed-
crate heroes who fought our battles, and
was determined that her baby should
see the man whom those heroes loved.
She was among the first to reach the
coach, and held up her little girl to the
window where he sat- Both he and
Miss Winnie clasped the little hand and
shook it tenderly. We love to kiss that
hand now better than ever before.

Senators Harrison and Mcdonald.

Ex-senator Ben Harrison, of Indiana,
was in Washington for few days lately,
engaged in arguing two Indiana cases
in the supreme court. His opponent in
the trial is ex-senator Joe Mcdonald,
once HarriSOn'S colleague in the SEN
ate. Mcdonald is the head of ar law
firm in Washington. in which Col. Dick
Bright, also of Indiana, is member.
Mcdonald also has an Office in Indian
apOliS, and divides his time between the
two cities. Gen. HarrisOn'S hair has
grown almost white since the bitter
and prolonged struggle that took
place in indianapolis last win
ter, and which finally terminated
in his defeat for the senate by major
ity of one vote. The bleaching Of his
hair is the only sign Harrison gives of
the memorable fight. 1t was really only
the preliminary battle, as the real con-
test will be waged in the United States
senate. David Turpie has the certifi-
cate of election and will undoubtedly
be seated, and the committee on priv
ileges and elections called UPON to de-
eide whether Turpie was legally elected
or whether the fight will have to be
made again. Harrison said nothing
about this contest while here. He is
good fighter, and knows how to take de-
feat with stout heart and a philo-
sophie mind. His wide experience rs a
soldier also taught him, however, to
always keep force in reserve. 1t may
be that his heaviest and longest range
gun will be fired in the United States
senate chamber next winter.

WHAT ENTERPRISES"

Aberdeen (Dak.) News.
The Pioneer Press was the only newspaper
in this great region which had its own ex-
elusive and special correspondent at the
execution of the Chicago anarchists. 1t also
demonstrated its enterprise by the issue of a
mammoth extra Immediately after the hang
ing.
The editor of the News should not
allow himself to be misled so easily by
the Pioneer Press. The statements
made are unqualifiedly false, and the Pho
neer Press writer who gave the false
hood circulation knew this fact when he
wrote it. The GLOBE had special cor
respondent at the execution, and his let
tiers were feature of the daily for
week befOre-JOe Howard, Jr., jour
nalist of worldwide reputation,
who probably earns more money
with his pen than any other
newspaper writer in America. His serv-
ices are valuable and always in de-
mand. The Pioneer Press sent down
one of its local reporters after it found
that Howard was representing the
GLOBE. As showing the disparity in
the value of the services of the two
men the fact may be stated that Howard
probably receives more salary in a day
than the Pioneer Press man does in
month. This is not stated as retiec-
ton OH the latter, but simply to show
where the credit for enterpriSe-which,
in the newspaper business, generally
means the expenditure of money
really belongs. The GLOBES special
correspondence during the anarchist
excitement probably cost ten times
as much as did the Pioneer PTeSS'S, and
the telegraph tolls three or four times as
much. These are the actual facts about
the enterprise business. Another
thing in this connection-the GLOBES
extra. on the morning of the execution,
was on the streets ten minutes ahead of
the Pioneer Press. It's small matter,
but the latter paper originated the false
hood, and some of the Northwestern
papers are being deceived by it.
